Groundwater Investigation Using Geophysical Methods- a Case Study of Pydibhimavaram Industrial Area
نویسنده
چکیده
A geophysical investigation involving the vertical electrical sounding (VES) electrical resistivity methods was carried out around Pydibhimavaram Industrial area Srikakulam district Andhra Pradesh. Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) using Schlumberger array was conducted at thirteen (13) VES stations. The study was carried out with a view to determine the subsurface layer parameters (resistivity’s and thicknesses) and use same to categorize the ground-water potential of the study area. The field data obtained have been analyzed using computer software (IPI2win) which gives an automatic interpretation of the apparent resistivity. The interpretation of results showed that major portion of the study area was three layer formations. A vast range of resistivities and their corresponding thicknesses were obtained. Pseudo sections and Geo-electric Sections were generated using Surfer software. The pseudo-sections revealed that the North West (NW) and South West (SW) regions are comparatively more weathered than the other parts.

Abstract—Adequate and reliable estimates of aquifer parameters are of utmost importance for proper management of vital groundwater resources. At present scenario, the ground water is polluted because of industrial waste disposed over the land and the contaminants are transported in the aquifer from one area to another area, which is depending on the characteristics of the aquifer and contaminan...

The present work envisages the possible geometry of a contaminated plume of groundwater near hospital facilities by combining GIS (Geographic Information System) and geophysical methods. The rock underlying the soil and thin sedimentary cover of the study area is moderately fractured quartzite, which makes aquifers vulnerable to pollution. The GIS methodology is used to calculate the area that ...
متن کاملEvaluation of groundwater quality in urban area, using Geostatistical methods in drought and wet periods (Case study: Mashhad city)
In many urban areas, groundwater has been exploited neglecting to wet and dry periods owing to of surface water deficit. In this study, using the percent of normal rainfall index, 36 year (1971-2008) were studied and a drought event and a wet event were determined. The reason to choose two consecutive years is the effect of early wet period on groundwater quality. Physicochemical characteristic...
